Is your interest general, @Kevparang, or are you looking into these filaments for a specific use?
I am looking for a strong, but lightweight filament because I want to build a rc aircraft

PLA printed with low infill (light) is extremely rigid and strong however it is not very durable, ABS printed at a low infill is also light, less rigid, pretty strong, but more durable.
If i was building a plane and i knew i would never crash it i would want PLA for its rigidity. stiff parts provide more agility in the sky. if i thought it would meet dirt at speed often, i would want ABS or even Nylon ignored to offer better energy absorption in a crash and to have joints that bend before they break.
